By what law was that insipid man our King? By English law alone. We live by American law.
“When in the course of human events it becomes necessary....”
You should know the rest! A greater man than any Englishman wrote it. One who was a lawful lord, one who ruled only by the consent of the governed.

But at that time we WERE English Subjects.
[This isn’t saying that I don’t agree with the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution, but to retroactively apply laws in an argument is a VERY grave folly; it is for this reason that I despise the Nurmburg trials where the “War Crime” was invented and retroactively applied... there was enough evidence to convict of [reular] murder those who were complicit.]
